"Mad" is the debut performance of Little Jerry and the Monotones on Sesame Street. Little Jerry names things that makes him mad and how he responds to them when so. The song ends with the members storming off the stage.

Notes

• The chorus and beat is reminiscent of the Silhouettes' Get a Job.
• The announcer in the album version is performed by Jeff Moss.
• In the TV version, Fran Brill and Caroll Spinney can be heard as two of the Monotones.
